MW4 DMZ Spawn Locations: All 21 Infil Points on Hajin

Where do you spawn in MW4 DMZ, and where do the other squads spawn? Spawns on Hajin are fixed spots. Knowing them tells you where enemy squads can show up around you at the start of a match, and it lets you plan your own run from the first second. We mapped every spawn we could confirm from our own deployments and public gameplay, and checked each one in the first seconds of a real deployment. This guide shows all of them on one map, explains how spawns work and how to use story missions to choose where you land.

The Spawn Map

The yellow numbers are the spawns you get in Dynamic Operations and Free Roam. The white letters are the story mission spawns, one per mission. Click the map to open it full size.

How Spawns Work in DMZ

Spawns in DMZ are not random positions. There is a fixed set of spots on Hajin, and every deployment the game picks one of them. Your whole squad lands on the same spot, so you always start together. Across many deployments from different players, on PC and on PS5, the same spots kept coming back within a few meters of each other.

Every squad in the match uses that same set of spots. So when you land, look at the map and check which spawns are close to you. Those are the directions other squads can come from in the first minutes, and the places to be careful when you loot nearby or drive past.

Which spot you get depends on how you deploy. Dynamic Operations and Free Roam use the 15 spawns along the edge of the map, and the game picks one for you. Story missions work differently. Each story mission has its own spawn close to its first objective, and it is the same spot every time you play it. That is what makes story missions useful even when you do not care about the mission itself.

To make sure the map shows where you really spawn, and not where someone walked to, we only kept spots we could check at 29:50 or higher on the radiation countdown, in the first ten seconds of a deployment. Most spots are confirmed by several players. Helicopter infils are not on the map, because you start in the air and there is no fixed spot on the ground.

Every Spawn Location on Hajin

These are the 15 spawns for Dynamic Operations and Free Roam, numbered clockwise from the north-west corner. The grid matches the in-game tac map.

#	Spawn	Grid	Where exactly
1	Jayon Warehouses	B1	Far north-west corner, by the warehouses
2	North Fork Hajin River	C1	Riverbank below the west border crossing
3	Revolution Dam	D2	On the dam road
4	Tong-il Village	D3	West side of the village
5	Russian Border Crossing	E4	Cheongun Outskirts, south of the bridge
6	Hajin River	G4	In the shallow water north of Cheongun Village
7	Oamsik Turtle Islands	I5	Shore below the reactor peninsula
8	Shoreline Station	I6	East coast, by the station
9	Songdo Pier	I7	East coast, north of the pier
10	South Island	I9	South-east shore
11	South Island	H9	South edge of the map
12	Hajin River Heights	F9	South edge, below the Heights
13	Namjin Riverside	E9	South edge, east of the riverside
14	Namjin Riverside	D9	South edge, west of the riverside
15	Deadtown	A8	South-west map edge, below Deadtown

The exfils are not in this table on purpose. They change every match, so check the tac map after you land to see which ones are open.

Use Story Missions to Pick Your Spawn

If you want to start somewhere specific, deploy into a story mission. Each mission drops you at its own fixed spot, and nothing stops you from ignoring the mission and doing your own thing from there. Whether you play the mission is up to you.

	Story mission	Grid	Where you land	Close to
A	Silent Ledger	F5	Cheongun Village	Cheongun Village, the Heavenly Luck Casino, UAV towers
B	Critical Extraction	G5	Expressway No. 1	Mirae General Hospital
C	Fallen Ember	H5	Expressway No. 1, by the reactor	Haneul Nuclear Reactor, Compound Delta
D	Shopping Hacks	H6	Inside the monorail car at NuriGO Mall	NuriGO Mall, The Grid
E	Grid Assault	G6	An underground corridor in The Grid	The Grid, DBN Headquarters
F	Iron Citadel	B7	Forest trail in the North Korean Wilderness	Chang-san Air Base, the bunkers, Deadtown

Two of these spawns look different from the rest. Shopping Hacks starts you inside the monorail car at NuriGO Mall, and Grid Assault starts you underground in a corridor below The Grid, so both put you right in the middle of the city without walking there.

Best Spawn for Your Goal

Loot

Iron Citadel is the best spawn for the west side of the map. You land on a forest trail just south of Chang-san Air Base, which is where the air base sweep starts, and the six bunkers are close as well. Fallen Ember drops you right next to Compound Delta, the first stop of the safe run.

If you want to loot The Grid but not walk all the way to that side of the map, take Shopping Hacks or Grid Assault, because both start you in the city. Silent Ledger puts you close to Cheongun Village. There is plenty of loot, a Lieutenant and several UAV towers, but expect company, because a lot of players go there.

When you land on spawn 1, 2, 3, 4 or 15 in Dynamic Ops or Free Roam, the six bunkers are a good option. Those spawns are close to the bunker route, so you can start at whichever end is nearest.

XP

If you level through Dynamic Ops, deploy with Dynamic Operations instead of Free Roam. You start inside an op right away instead of walking to a phone first, and every completed op pays a Supply Drop and $10,000 to $20,000 straight into your bank.

For pure XP, a short story mission is faster. Critical Extraction is quick, every story mission pays 12,500 XP on completion, and after that you just keep playing the deployment. It pays less money than Dynamic Ops, so it is the pick when you want levels, not cash. Our XP guide has the numbers per hour.

Keys

Most keys turn up while you loot, so you do not need a special spawn for them. If you carry a key for a specific door, pick the story mission that lands closest to it and you save yourself the walk. Every door is on our keys map.

Bosses

Several story spawns land close to a Lieutenant. Silent Ledger is near Jin-Tae at the Heavenly Luck Casino, Critical Extraction is near The Doctor at Mirae General Hospital, Shopping Hacks and Grid Assault are near Roze at DBN Headquarters and Jang-ui in Netshin Tech Complex, and Iron Citadel is near Bale at the Re-Education Center in Deadtown.

Lieutenants do not seem to be there every match. If you want to be sure, deploy in Free Roam and climb the nearest Lieutenant Tower first, so you know where one actually is. With the LT Hunter trait from the Warfighter tree, a tower reveals a second Lieutenant as well. The Boss Board guide has every Lieutenant location and reward.

Orders

Some DMZ Orders ask you to complete a task at a specific place on the map. If that place is close to a story spawn, deploy into that mission and you start right where the Order needs you.
